Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 11, 2016

If the kids are going to be depressed with school starting, so should the adults.

I can’t wait for the cold weather. I know how to stay warm when it’s cold, but I can’t do anything for this heat.

I guess neither one of them ever wears his summer flannels!

The fake Christmas trees are already on display at Costco.

I hate it when Big Business jumps the gun on holidays/seasons like this. As MAD Magazine put it in their classic article 43 Man Squamish, loss of half the Flutney for rushing the season! :-P

I can hardly wait for the weather to turn crisp.

why is it human nature to not be content where you are? We too often have our minds on what is coming. I’m with they guys here. Don’t sweep away the last of our summer.

Stores stop selling bathing suits by middle of summer. What, people don’t swim in August?

allows time for shipping delays.

Hmm, company up north that sells flannel shirts… rhymes with Jean?

Give it a minute, there’s flannel. And see if you can spot Tom Hanks.

Maybe because up North, that time has already come. At higher latitudes, Autumn comes earlier, spring comes later, and summer is shorter than at lower latitudes.
